Wow, I have watched 100s of consulting videos but the way you explained especially the different types of the firms is incredible and unique

[Ayeltahlawy]

It is obvious how much effort and preparation went into this video, thank you

[RiverWijaya]

Finally, an in-depth informational video to truly break-down the industry! Really helpful thanks!

One of the best, if not the best video about consulting

I'm planning to pursue an MBA and have heard a lot about consulting. This was SO helpful in understanding what consulting is and addressing misconceptions. Like you said at the end, it is intimidating and I didn't think I would have the personality for it but I do love working in a team environment and constantly learning.

I am currently pursuing my MBA and I am aiming for a career in strategy consulting, particularly with MBB. Your comprehensive guide has been incredibly insightful and motivating.
I am just getting started with my consulting interview preparation and this video gave a very good starting point to me.
Thanks for sharing your experiences!

[Simple_Jack]

I work in consulting and this video still gave me so much value! Great work!!

[autonomy]

Hey Matt thank you for sharing. this content is insanely valuable to me. and I am saying this because I have both a public health and computer science background and day by day I am starting to realize that I am more efficient in talking about strategies, planning project execution, and ideating. Which I guess aligned with a typical consulting job.

[mamdouhahmed]

you are killing it as usual, keep it going, lots of people missing out for sure!!!

[Fleurlovin]

Would love to see a video of yours talking about what it takes to enter the consulting firms like in skills that people need to learn early on and other personal skills to develop that will.help people excel in this job.

[BenjaminYu-itqu]

Quality video. People like you allow us to scrape through the complicated job industry that is consulting. Good shit

[marcokoerner]

Very nice insights. When I started as controlling consultant and had some struggles with the first client I would have needed exactly this video to build more confidence being with the client. Having soft skills seems to be so much more important than knowing everything theoretical about businesses. Didn't even know there is an actual division between consulting businesses. Definetely earned a sub with this video✅

[serena]

Very concise and smooth video! I was even taking down little notes. I have yet to learn from the way you present yourself as well. Thank you for the amazing work, Matt!

[williamhayden]

really the most comprehensive, thorough, and genuine advice in consulting i see so far

[vntzltd]

This video was just bomb to watch! Watched so many videos but this one had answer to almost everything .
